point-break-2015-poster

What you may need to know

1. The original Point Break (1991) is perhaps the most ridiculous action movie ever made. It’s a masterpiece.

2. So why not do a remake set against the world of extreme sports? BECAUSE IT’S A HORRIBLE IDEA.

3. The new Johnny Utah? Luke Bracey. He lacks the depth, subtlety and nuance of a Keanu Reeves.

4. @1’54 Ray Winstone, getting paid.

5. @1’56 Hollywood Exec: ‘Get me the chick from Twilight! All right, get me someone who looks like the chick from Twilight!‘

6. Gerard Butler was originally going to play the Swayze role, but he bailed. When Gerard Butler bails, you know you’re in trouble.

7. Suggested tagline: There will be jumping. Lots of jumping.

8. Broadsheet Prognosis: What? No Gary Busey cameo?

Release date: Christmas

Ah here.

The Guardian reports:

“’I was deeply saddened by the result,’ Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, said at a conference in Rome on Tuesday night. ‘The church must take account of this reality, but in the sense that it must strengthen its commitment to evangelisation. I think that you cannot just talk of a defeat for Christian principles, but of a defeat for humanity.'”

“… with his choice of words, Parolin differed from the pope in one respect: the Argentinian pontiff has also used the phrase “defeat for humanity”, but he was talking about war, not the legalisation of gay marriage.”

In fairness.

Vatican says Ireland gay marriage vote is ‘defeat for humanity’ (The Guardian)

Thought you might be interested to see what’s going up on Hanover Quay. It’s a project sponsored by DCC and Codema and designed by new Irish architecture practice de Siún Scullion Architects.  It’s literally five minutes of Irish oil use.  The project intends to make visible what is normally much discussed, but rarely seen.

To wit:

As we are all well aware, non-renewables energy sources are finite and are being consumed at an alarming rate. The rate at which these resources are being depleted can be expressed in a number of ways (CO2 per annum, Exajoules per country, TWh per capita etc), most of which are too abstract or on too colossal a scale for us to comprehend.

5CUBE takes a single fuel source we can all relate to in terms of volume, cost, and rate of usage and physically demonstrates how much is exhausted within a very short period of time.

The architects calculated that 473 barrels of oil are consumed every five minutes in Ireland. That’s a cubed volume of 4.2m. The 5CUBE represents this volume as a black glass-clad cube.

Fore the week that’s in it.

Temple Street Children’s Hospital asked their patients about what advice they could give to the players taking part in this year’s Irish Open at The Royal County Down Golf Club.

Arnette Small writes:

This heart-warming video documents personal messages from the children on what it takes to be a great golfer, who Rory McIlroy is and most importantly what they dream of being when they grow up.

The children in Temple Street know a lot about taking on challenges and beating the odds so they can look forward to a long and healthy future. A future, where like their golfing heroes, they get to live their dreams – whatever those dreams may be

Cheeky brave little tykes.

Mmmf!

I know I’m asking for abuse by posting a cliched tech job, but there’s nothing like stirring the pot to help find the right person a great job

We are looking to find an experienced entrepreneur to help us introduce great people to the exciting new world of short term jobs in Ireland. A “CTO” to throw in another cliche…

I can’t emphasise enough how important it is for us to find somebody sound, we want happy lives, so pr*cks need not apply ;)

FIGHT!

Friday May 29: The Radiomade Forbidden After Party @ District 8 (the Tivoli Theatre, Francis Street, Dublin) (€10, 10:30pm)

Nialler9 writes:

As hosted by online radio station Radiomade, there are live sets from analogue synthesizer enthusiasts I Am The Cosmos and Diamond Dagger, soulful music from Miss Kate with a live band along with No Requests, who frankly, there is no info on but I like the name all the same. If this isn’t your bag, the Down With Jazz Festival in Meeting House Square [Temple Bar] is worth a look on Saturday and Sunday.
